Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

I have made so many PvP builds in all the Dark Souls and Elden Ring I couldn't even count. Though I tend to enjoy lore appropriate characters with some sets of personal rules to my invasions.
The ones based off enemy mobs and NPCs I just try to engage in the same way NPC invaders do. Edgewalking, sidestepping, and just aggro and chase. My Cathedral Knight in DS3 is probably my favorite one. Aptly named Deacon and he sits in the Cathedral.
My favorite Elden Ring invader would only be allowed to do sneak backstabs and attempt parries and ripostes. No standup fights, double splody physick like its a cyanide pill if caught.
The best invasions are where the host and I double KO, followed by when I closely lose.
